I asked for your help, not for you to fan the flames!

Electronic Edison covered his head with his clothes and sprawled in a corner, playing dead.

In the Virtual World, a player's corpse did not disappear immediately after death.

Only when the soul returned to the respawn point did the corpse dissolve into light and vanish.

So when battles grew intense, it was easy for a terrifying scene to emerge: corpses carpeting the ground as they waited for the system to refresh them.

That gave Electronic Edison an opportunity to play dead.

Of course, this kind of act was easy to See Through, and he might occasionally get hurt by stray attacks.

But Electronic Edison truly had no better option—

He had to make time to search through Dreamjin's posts and other players' livestreams to learn about the flooding in the rear half of the ship and the progress others had made in plugging the leaks.

Someone in the Livestream Room even asked, "Why are you just watching? Why don't you go help?"

It nearly infuriated Electronic Edison to death.

He really wanted to help.

But in his current state, running over there would only cause trouble—plenty of people would definitely chase after him and hack at him.

He had received reliable news: the respawn points on the Lost Ship and outside the west gate of Sprawling Metropolis had both been surrounded.

The moment he died, they would immediately camp his respawn point.

Unless he handed over the flight log, he would not be allowed to take another step.

He did not want to be killed over and over until he logged off, so for now, all he could do was lie low.

Lie low until the others successfully plugged the leaks and saved the entire ship.

Or lie low until the whole ship was flooded by seawater and sank beneath
